Rippels of time.

Lights shining, music blaring, crowd cheering, what to do? Draggle, Draggle, Draggle, wow this day really came and it was the last thing everyone in our home town thought would happen.

My name is Nathan and I am the drummer of the now #1 band in America, Draggle. This band consists of Jason Moore, Jimmy Goodman, Jeremy Schroeder, and my self. We started back when I was a junior in high school about 3 years ago. We have written all our own songs and have everything right go for us.

“LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, DRAGGLE” the announcer yelled. We rush out to stage and start playing. The crowd goes wild and everyone loves us. After the show a man that looked very familiar came up and asked us if we would enjoy playing at the halftime show for the super bull. I about cried. That has been my dream sense I was a little kid, to perform at the super bowl. I always imagined that I would be the person to play the star spangled banner at the beginning in a really high manner. Flash backs come rushing into my head like the fans to their favorite football teams game.

We practice day after day until the big month comes. One day I get the horrible call. Jeremy our bass has been arrested. 2 weeks before the big gig he was arrested. He was being charged with drug use and intent to sell. The amount he had would put him in prison way longer then the next 4 super bowls . The super bowl came and we played. We had Jeremy on good behavior for one day. After that the band went down hill. I invested my money in stocks and Jason and jimmy didn’t even see it coming. The IRS hit them up for almost all of their money. We all split up and went our different directions.

Jeremy spends 20 years in prison and was never her from again. Jason got married then divorced, twice, and is living somewhere in Florida working at taco bell. Jimmy went on to do a solo track and became the next Hannah Montana Yes he had a sex change. Me on the other hand, I joined the army and became a computer technologist.

One September morning I got a phone call from a man on the trading floor. He told me that the stock I put my $100, 000,000 in when I was famous is the highest it has ever been. I need to sell as soon as I can. I sold them and I got a check in the mail escorted by 5 cops 4 days later. I opened the check and looked at the amount. $270 billion. I dropped to my knees… and cried.

The next business day I kept 1billion of that money for myself and sent the rest to my school that I attended when I was a child and to a band getting started under the conditions that they use it to become famous and stay away from drugs. In the process of Jeremy messing up his life he may have saved more when they grow up. Think how the ripples of time may last forever.
